What He >aw and Learned the Uc \ la
waha River.
Ernest 4. Bixler. the twelve yeaT-Old
son of John Bixler, made a trip up the
Ocklawaha River not long since. and
wrote the following composition and real
it at his school. We print the compost
ton just rs written. without changing a
word. letter or punctuation, and il shows
that Ernest has an observing mind and
rather neat way of expressing his ideas.
There is no greater educator than old Ma
ture, and the beautiful scenery of Flor
ida can lie studied with great benefit by
people much older than our young friend
Here Is his composition:
Up AND DOWN THE oCLAwAHA.
IF any of you want a delitful trip. get
ON the neat little craft, Okeehumket.. an
Palatka, and go up the Oclawaha river.
First you will gotwenty five miles ON the
st. Johns river and then YOU will 90 one
hundred and one miles ON the crooked
and narrow river. But the old craft
with her many years travling seems To
know the way perfectly. Though some
times in making very short turns she
will run into the bank but this is very sell
dom and when it happens there are two
men with poles ready to push it off. Next
you will reach the Silver Spring run.
which is nine miles long and is very
beautiful, and when it is not rainy
weather it is so clear that you can see to
the bottom. Then you will reach the
spring that is called the Silver Spring
and is well named. 1t Is n spring that
anyone enjoys seeing. You can drop a
